Otacon

File:Otacon.jpg

Otacon, born Hal Emmerich, is a character from the Metal Gear series who makes his appearance on Metal Gear Solid. He is the one who helped designed Metal Gear REX, unaware of it's true purpose. With guilt all over his feelings, he assists Snake in dissembling Metal Gear REX. He returns in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, as part of the Philanthropy group, an anti-Metal Gear organization. He returns in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and guides Snake through the tanker, Discovery and the disguised oil-cleaup facility, the "Big Shell". During the Big Shell chapter, Otacon's half-sister, Emma Emmerich, holds the data chip to implant a computer virus to stop Arsenal Gear's computer AI, GW. She is stabbed on her way to the computer room and later dies. Otacon's father had committed suicide prior to Metal Gear Solid and Otacon's stepmother had a seductive relationship with him (which is the cause for Otacon's father's death). His nickname deprives from "Otakon"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otakon, as his main interests are anime and manga. Overall, the development of Otacon is from a cowardly weak man, to a man who stands for courage.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Otacon appears in Shadow Moses Island and communicates Snake via Codec and informs about the fighters in the battlefield.

Quotes

(On Donkey Kong)

Snake: "Otacon, there's a gorilla wearing a tie here. He's huge."

Otacon: "That's Donkey Kong. As you can tell, he's got strength to spare. He may be king of the jungle, but he lives in a house just like you or me. And he seems pretty smart--well, for an ape, anyway. The Donkey Kong who fought that epic battle with Mario was this guy's grandfather."

Snake: "That was a long time ago. What about this Donkey Kong? Does he get along with Mario?"

Otacon: "Nope, they're still at it. Seems like they're always competing in something--kart racing, sports, you name it."

Snake: "A chip off the old block..."

(On Diddy Kong)

Snake: "Otacon, there's a chimpanzee here wearing a Nintendo hat."

Otacon: "That's Diddy Kong. He's Donkey Kong's partner. Not only is he lightweight, he can use a wide range of weapons as well. He can fly using those barrel jets on his back, and he can shoot nuts with his Peanut Popgun."

Snake: "Peanuts? As in the ones in the little shells? Are you serious?"

Otacon: "Wait, here's the best part. You see them lying on the ground after he shoots? If you pick up some of those peanuts, they'll restore your health a little."

Snake: "Hmm. Edible ammunition, huh... Times sure have changed."

(On Yoshi)

Snake: "Otacon! What's this lizard thing?"

Otacon: "That's a Yoshi. It's a dinosaur from Yoshi's Island. Watch out for it long chameleon-like tongue. If it gets you, you'll be swollowed whole."

Snake: "It lays eggs and throws them, right?... then it must be female."

Otacon: "...actually it's a "he." At least, that's what it says."

Snake: "It talks?"

Otacon: "Yes! It talks! Well kind of..."

Snake: "Now you've got me curious... how about I capture one so we can see what it tastes like?"

Otacon: "Uhh, Snake..."

(On Link)

Snake: "Otacon, who's the guy with the sword?"

Otacon: "That's Link. He's the hero of Hyrule. That blade in his hand is called the Master Sword, also known as the "Blade of Evil's Bane." He also has a whole arsenal of weapons at his disposal--bombs and arrows, a shield, a boomerang, and a Clawshot. He's a force to be reckoned with."

Snake: "Gear is only useful when it's used at the right time and place. Just lugging a ton of it around doesn't do you any good."

Otacon: "...I, uh... I wouldn't be talking if I were you, Snake."

Snake: "What's that supposed to mean?"

Otacon: "You tell me, Mr. Utility Belt."

Snake: "..."

(On Samus)

Snake: "Hey, Otacon. I got a woman here in a Power Suit."

Otacon: "Huh? How'd you know she was a woman? Yeah, that'd be Samus Aran, the most renowned bounty hunter in the galaxy. Her Arm Cannon pack quite a wallop. If you get hit with a charged shot from that thing, you can kiss your butt good-bye.

Snake: "Sounds like my kind of woman..."

Otacon: "Yeah, well, just don't get too close, Snake. Samus is deadly. After Space Pirates killed her parents, she was raised by the Chozo and trained in the fighting arts. She's been places and seen things that people like you and me can't even begin to imagine."

Snake: "But underneath that cold, metal exterior beats the heart of a woman..."

(On Pit)

Snake: "Otacon, there's a kid with wings out here. Is he a mutant? Or is he just into costumes?"

Otacon: "That's Pit, Snake. Pit is an angel from Angel Land. He's the captain of Palutena's Army."

Snake: "Angels. Give me a break!"

Otacon: "I dunno, maybe he's from a different species. But those wings on his back and those mysterious weapons he has are the real deal. He may look young, but he's a veteran warrior. Watch yourself. He used to be a weakling, but countless trials over the years have toughened him up."

Snake: "And by trials, you mean, "Game Overs"?"

Otacon: "Yeah, you should know all about that."

(On Kirby)

Otacon: "Snake! Watch out!"

Snake: "For what? That pink marshmallow?"

Otacon: "That's Kirby, also known as "Kirby from Dream Land." He's from another planet--in other words, an extraterrestrial. He's got a powerful stomach that lets him swallow and digest anything. And he also has a "Copy Ability" that allows him to mimic opponents, steal their moves, and use those moves against them. On top of that, he has the power to fly around the stage, so once he's got you in his sights, there's no place to run."

Snake: "...Huh? Yeah, got it. I'll keep an eye out."

(On Captain Falcon}

Snake: "Hey! That's Captain Falcon, isn't it!"

Otacon: "Good eye, Snake! He's F-Zero pilot number 07!"

Snake: "You know, seeing Captain Falcon here reminds me... We should do that thing we've always wanted to try..."

Otacon: "Ohhhh yeah! That thing! Good idea! OK, ready? Go!"

Snake: "Falcon Puuuunch!"

Otacon: "Falcon Kiiiiiiick!"

(On Mr. Game & Watch)

Snake: "Otacon, there's a guy walking around in here...and he's only got two dimensions!"

Otacon: "That's Mr. Game & Watch. He comes from a world where everything is flat. Game & Watch was a series of portable games released by Nintendo in 1980. They ere powered by large-scale integrated circuits and only had mono-chrome LCD displays, so characters kind of looked like the numbers on a calculator. The guy you're looking at now, Mr. Game & Watch, was a character who appeared in these games."

Snake: "This is making my head hurt."

Otacon: "Well, um... He's... I mean... Look, just start fighting him, and I'm sure everything will make sense."

Snake: ...

Snake: "...Grr..."

Otacon: "What's wrong, Snake?

Snake: "Somehow, I can't like this hedgehog."

Otacon: "Hm? Oh you mean Sonic the Hedgehog. He's a big star everyone knows. For a long time, everyone wanted him as a fighter for the brawl."

Snake: "I know that, but I still don't like this guy being here."

Otacon: "Why's that? Is there a reason why he shouldn't be?"

Snake: "...No, I don't know why"
